Pros
- subsidized cafeteria food is good; used to be free but still decent value and selection - good workout facilities - comfortable campus and convenient location - some signs of progress in hr and finance in establishing processes required to operate a larger company - we still get paid
Cons
- no obvious technical coordination amongst groups - no published organization structure leading to very inefficient communications (always difficult to figure out who to ask about anything) - some people and groups are not very responsive and sometimes rude; they do not answer e-mails at all - people work pretty hard and not very smart - schedules and money drive everything; quality and efficiency are often sacrificed - engineering processes are either non-existtent or very weak - middle and upper management is largely invisible and ineffective
